Hi!

Hi all!!

Wonder if it's ok for me to join you here? I haven't joined a SW group due to not enough time in the day, but I have done it before and for the last week have followed the plan and managed to slim down by 8lbs!! I'm not expecting to lose this much again lol.

I have 22lbs left to go now from a target of 30lbs loss I set myself last Tuesday.

Is this ok?

Hi, I plucked up courage and attended my 1st ever SW class tonight. I was so shocked when i saw how much I weighed. :(

The group is quite small and seems friendly - so glad I have found this forum too.

Wow what a busy forum! Just having a look round now - looks ace!

As the name implies, I'm from London and I'm a mum! I'm 32, my son will be 2 next month - I've got to stop blaming the baby weight, as actually I have been this weight for about 15 years now .

Like most people I have done every fad diet going - I did lose 4st on Cambridge once, but didn't bother with maintenance and naturally put it all back on again.... Did SW in 2001 and lost very successfully on it, so getting back on ...

I weigh far too much for my liking at 15st 2lbs and I have worked out my Club 10 to be something like 21lbs - that is my first target, let's hope I can make it and even exceed it!

I've been going to my local Slimming World class for a while now and have lost 13.5lbs (I'm so going to get my 1 stone award next week!). I'm an all or nothing kind of gal when it comes to dieting (or sticking to a healthy eating plan!) but I'm determined to keep going back and sticking with this even on the weeks when it goes belly up. I've just started using Mix2Max and Success Express ...

Hi I,m a new member, i just started on this site today but been doing SW since 26th April 2007. My starting weight was 14st 12 and I have lost since I have started 2st 8 and half lbs. I was born with a disability and now have to live with this day in day out, so because of my disabiliy i can not exercise as much as i wish to. All my weight lose has been down to staying within the plan.

hello everyone.

i have just found this site and wish i had done sooner, i love the SW plan and really do try to stick to it but sometimes you just need that extra bit of support through the week to get you to weigh in. i have read a few welcome posts and hope i am welcomed with the same enthusiasm.

Hi Everyone,

I've joined this support group as i've hit a wall and need a little extra encouragement. I joined Slimming World almost a year ago and lost a little every week, or maintained, till the end of September. I suffer abit with SAD and find the autumn and winter a bit difficult. I've managed, through a series of ups and downs, to have come out the other side into spring 3lb lighter than I hit Autumn with but now i'm in need of a real kick start to get me going. I seem to do ...

Hi all

Sat, 19 Apr 2008 22:56:26 GMT

I've been going to Slimming World for about 18 months. I lost half a stone and then have been maintaining pretty much the same weight ever since. I have had a lot of pressure at work and problems at home which have made focussing on weight loss difficult. If I hadn't been going to class I know I would have gained at least a stone in the last 18 months. I have now decided that things are as sorted as they are going to get at work and at home so it is time to get on with losing instead of maintaining. ...

Looked at new members message, what a nice welcome. thank you for the motivation. It'll be good to give and receive support, and also chat with someone who has similar goals.

I find that is one thing that's missing from the official site (discussion forum) that I'd find beneficial.

I look forward to discovering other treasures on this site.

Thanks
